Investment Working Group Update – September 2008

Investment Working Group (IWG)

• The IWG Discovery Team spent the summer researching our 2009 investment focus area in order to provide SDSVP with an understanding of the pertinent issues facing children and youth in San Diego.
• At the IWG kick-off meeting, Sherri Neasham reported on the Discovery Team findings and Michael Carr from SAY San Diego and Susan Wolking from the Girard Foundation gave us insight into the area of youth and children in San Diego.
• Over 30 organizations attended the Grant Briefing Session to learn about SDSVP’s grant application requirements. Bruce Reznik from Coastkeeper and Marjorie Fox from Human Development Foundation discussed their experiences with SDSVP from the Investee point-of-view.
• Deadline for organizations to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) is Oct 13. LOI Review Teams have been formed. To join a team, contact Joyce Ross at joycedross@aol.com.
